Hemisperes // 03.2021: You don’t have to be a student at the University of Houston to enjoy the school’s staggering collection of public art, which includes nearly 700 objects across four main campuses and three satellite sites. Simply start your exploration by pre-registering for a free, self-guided tour of the Downtown campus, which is home to Carlos Cruz-Diez’s perception-bending Double Physichromie
(the late artist’s first permanent public commission in the U.S.) and Lawrence Argent’s trio of gargantuan gourd-like sculptures, Your Move (pictured). Space City’s public art riches extend far beyond the UH system, as well; visit houstonartsmap.com to plan the perfect route. publicartuhs.org
